Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups mashed sweet potatoes (about 2 pounds)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, granulated sugar, 1/4 cup melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix until well combined and smooth.
  3. Pour the sweet potato mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and chopped pecans for the topping.
  5. Cut in the cold, cubed 1/2 cup butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the sweet potato mixture in the baking dish.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is heated through.
  8. Let it cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • For an even crunchier topping, you can add a handful of crushed cornflakes to the topping mixture.
  • If you prefer a less sweet casserole, reduce the amount of granulated sugar in the sweet potato mixture.
  • Ensure your sweet potatoes are fully mashed for a smooth casserole base.
